If you missed it late on Friday, watch national League President Elisabeth MacNamara discuss the recent victory for voters' rights in Florida and the fight to protect all eligible voters on MSNBC's Politics Nation. On Thursday, a judge struck down part of Florida's new election law, which had threatened to institute, "a harsh and impractical" requirement for independent groups such as the League of Women of Florida that register voters in the Sunshine state.

Florida voters suffered a setback this week as judges ruled to allow implementation of both the congressional and reworked state Senate redistricting maps, despite repeated challenges by the League and other groups on the grounds the maps violated new Fair Districts standards in the state. The League had previously celebrated a victory when the Supreme Court ordered the legislature to redraw its original Senate plan.
